Position Paper For The 1986 Tavertet Spain Colloquium On Cultural Resistance, Robert K. Thomas

Robert K. Thomas

For most minority peoples in the world today, cultural resistance and cultural survival is dependent on their continuing social survival. Many minority peoples are modernly citizens of large nation-states, surrounded by numerous and very different majority groups. Their continued existence is tenuous, to say the least. This is particularly true of small tribal nationalities in some parts of the world.

Is Increased Price Flexibility Stabilizing?, J. Bradford Delong, Lawrence Summers

J. Bradford DeLong

This paper uses John Taylor's model of overlapping contracts to show that increased wage and price flexibility can easily be destabilizing because of the Mundell effect. Simulations based on "realistic" parameter values suggest that increases in price flexibility might well increase the cyclical variability of output in the United States.

La Política Del Municipio De Quito, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

En la década de los años sesenta, con la modernización capitalista de la sociedad nacional, el eje de la acumulación tiende a trasladarse a las ciudades. De esta manera, el proceso de urbanización se acelera significativamente, sobre todo como consecuencia del paso de las formas de acumulación semicoloniales o primario exportadoras a las nuevas de susurbano-industrial, que tienen como base al hecho de que la plusvalía extraída de los sectores minero y agrícola, que anteriormente fluía los centros metropolitanos, comienza a ser acumulada localmente a través del desarrollo, aunque incipiente, de la industria, la banca, el comercio, etcétera (Quijano: 1974) …

Intermodality Superfactors In The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16pf), Eight State Battery (8sq), And Objective Motivation Analysis Test (Oab), Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

The behavioural scientists Eysenck and Cattell have much in common, having investigated intrapersonal psychological structure, albeit at different levels in its hierarchical structure. Eysenck has studied the personality domain in terms of a typological model involving a small number of important superfactors. In contrast, Cattell has typically resorted to analyses of a considerably larger number of primary factors. While both approaches are complementary, nevertheless, little research has been undertaken into intermodality superfactors. The present study, therefore, examines Cattellian intermodality superfactors across the normal personality trait, mood state, and motivational dynamic domains, respectively, in the hope of elucidating broad affect dimensions …

Application Of Factor Analysis In Psychological Research: Improvement Of Simple Structure By Computer Assisted Graphic Oblique Transformation: A Brief Note, Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

Several studies have suggested the efficacy of topological rotation as an adjunct to oblique analytical rotation in attaining improved approximation to maximum simple structure of the factor pattern matrix. Recently, using a higher- order scale factoring of the Objective Motivation Analysis Test (MAT), and the Eight State Questionnaire (8SQ), Boyle(1983) reported a 6.17% increase in the ±.10 hyperplane count after only five Rotoplot cycles. Four of the 11 extracted factors were simplified in line with Thurstone’s simple structure requirements. The present brief note examines the issue of topological rotation in regard to its usefulness and ease of application by investigators …

Estimation Of Measurement Redundancy Across The Eight State Questionnaire And Differential Emotions Scale, Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

The present article addresses the important issue of the psychometric assessment of mood, and evaluates the measurement overlap (redundancy) between two multidimensional instruments, the Eight State Questionnaire (8SQ) and the Differential Emotions Scale (DES-IV). Both measures are purported to index some of the major emotions evident in human behaviour. While the subscale descriptions differ somewhat across the two measures, nevertheless, some apparent commonalities exist, although in general each instrument seems to be tapping significant discrete psychological variance within the mood-state sphere. In order to quantify the measurement redundancy across the two scales, and to elucidate the content similarities and differences …

Analysis Of Typological Factors Across The Eight State Questionnaire And The Differential Emotions Scale, Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

The use of multivariate mood-state scales has recently become quite popular. Two instruments designed to measure fundamental emotions are the Eight State Questionnaire and the Differential Emotions Scale. As it appears that each instrument taps somewhat different sectors of the mood-state sphere, elucidation of a smaller number of typological factors across both instruments seems desirable to provide the basis for an instrument which better taps the total mood-state sphere than does either one of these alone. In the present study, a combined scale-factoring of the two instruments is undertaken on a sample of 450 college students. Results suggest that six …

Prediction Of Cognitive Learning Performance From Multivariate State‑Change Scores, Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

While the role of non-ability intrapersonal variables including personality traits and motivational dynamic factors has been well documented in numerous studies, the relationship of transient states to cognitive performance has been relatively neglected. Boyle (1983b, 1986) demonstrated that emotional states powerfully influence cognitive learning outcomes under conditions of stressful activation. However, under neutral, non-emotive conditions, it remained unclear what role if any was played by mood states in cognitive learning. The failure to employ change measures in these studies may have obscured the likely influence of emotions on cognitive performance in the neutral situation. This study re-examines the relationship of …

Higher-Order Factors In The Differential Emotions Scale (Des-Iii), Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

The 30-item version of Izard's Differential Emotions Scale (DES-III) was submitted to an iterative principal factoring plus oblique (direct Oblimin) rotation to simple structure, on a sample of 204 University of Delaware undergraduates. The intercorrelation matrix for the eight primary emotional-state factors derived, was subsequently subjected to a higher-order factoring. Four second-order factors accounted readily for the variance measured in the DES-III scales and this suggests that the multivariate mood-state instrument might be more profitably scored for secondary factors, in certain instances. This conclusion in no way detracts from the importance of the DES-III primaries, but adds to the usefulness …

A Comparison Of Male-Female Hazard Rates Of Young Workers, 1968-1971, John Donohue

John Donohue

The perception that women have higher turnover rates than men is widespread. A recent study has argued, with a touch of sarcasm, that "[p]opular stereotypes, which economists refer to as 'stylized facts, I portray women as relatively poor bets as workers because they have ... higher quit rates than males. 1I Waite and Berryman [1985: 61]. Indeed, in a recent article on occupational segregation, Goldin takes this IIfact ll as the premise for her model, although in support of this position she cites only a 1920 study. Goldin [1985]. While this may well be adequate for Goldin's historical analysis, a …

Hazard Rates Of Young Male And Female Workers--Recent Developments (Working Paper #51), John Donohue

John Donohue

This paper will explore whether this tenure differential has persisted after a decade in which the commitment of women to the paid workforce increased substantially. To answer this question, I began by examining the first full-time job for "recent school leavers" from the National Longitudinal Studies youth cohort over the four year period from 1979-1982.2 Tables 1 and 2 present summary statistics for the resulting male and female samples, in which full-time jobs are defined as having a usual workweek of 20 or more hours. The number of male and female workers included in the sample are quite close: 2305 …

Se revisa someramente la historia urbana del país, a partir de la conquista española, pues allí se inicia la oposición ciudad-campo, con predominio de la primera, Se presentan hipótesis generales sobre el tema que requieren ulterior investigación y se divide el trabajo en dos partes: la primera sobre conceptos teórico-metodológicos, y la segunda los periodos de esta historia con sus rasgos característicos, con especial énfasis en el análisis interurbano.

Evolución Del Espacio Urbano Ecuatoriano, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Con este trabajo pretendemos realizar un recorrido breve y somero de la historia urbana de nuestro país, desde la conquista y la colonización española hasta nuestros días. Lo hacemos a partir de la colonización, española porque consideramos que ella marca el inicio de la separación, por oposición, de la ciudad con el campo. Una oposición que surge desde la ciudad y con predomino sobre el campo; cuestión que permite, desde este momento, el análisis particularizado de la ciudad, como proceso y evolución propia. Y lo hacemos hasta nuestros días por cuanto nos permite, aunque a grosso modo, tener una visión …
